I know a lot of people on here want "teh win" setup and only consider missions fun if they can cash in faster/easier, but I haven't seen much on here addressing which is "the most fun". Maybe the faster paycheck is more fun for you, but I'm curious what everyone would choose to fly in a mission because
A) it does good dps (can be rat specific) B) it looks badass (self-explanitory) C) it feels badass to play (not just effectiveness, but showmanship too)
Only restrictions would be that it must be BS or lower (no caps) and has to be viable in L4 missions.
For example, like the energy sword in Halo... sure you can frag someone easier at range with other weapons, but nothing feels quite as awesome as charging in and mowing someone down in melee range. Or maybe few things rock your boat like toting a BFG into the thick of it or maybe you prefer being the guy 20 miles away that lives the creed of one shot, one kill.
Don't be shy. Pick a rat, pick a ship/dmg type and post why its your favorite pwnage-wagon....

killing angels in a AC/Cruise typhoon.
It looks like giant fleshlight and it lights up green when the reppers are on. Whoe doesn't want a giant green sex toy that kills everything within 45km? This is clearly a signature. |

Very good point. I now see the 'phoon in a completely different light tbh. Iz PRETTY naws! <3
To OP: Right now, I'd say my Faction fitted Wolf.
Next week, I'll prolly say my 1337 DPS Mach.

a fleshlight that has fangs? if you stick your junk in it what you get back out is probably a mass of ground meat __________________________________________________________

Maybe when they go through and beat other ships with the "pretty stick" like they did the scorp they can make the phoon more fleshlighty to your tastes :P. Personally I'd prefer something with more spiraly that doesn't scream broken lightsaber or garbage disposal.

They do actually have that now... I was visiting the fleshlight website the other day and was amused by the "sex in a can" section, and then I stumbled on a special section of the fleshlights where they have the one modeled with the mouth that has fangs... its for the vampire crowd... really wierd... heres a link. lets see if CCP lets it stay or they get rid of it.
http://www.fleshlight.com/succu-dry/
For when I get my first CCP edit and they remove that, heres what they say about it:
Quote: Introducing Succu Dry Sex in a Can from Fleshlight, the worldÆs first vampire inspired sex toy for men. Take a walk on the dark side and get familiar with this pale brew. But be careful! Though this may feel like love at first bite, make sure you have wood poised to penetrate before you get completely drained! Enjoy to excess to ensure encounters with Succu Dry are A-Positive experience.
Anywho, to keep this thread on track, I would probably go with the Tengu if you're already skilled for Caldari. They're a lot of fun to fly, can fit a badass tank, to damn good DPS, and should fit most of your requirements. They aren't quite as fast as a marauder for most missions, but pretty darned close. The only problem I have with them, and t3 in general, is the lack of a drone bay.

My favorite, rattlesnake with t2 torps, big tank, 2 drone links, 1 omni directional, 1 target painter, all t2 drones, sentry mostly.
Anthing at rages of 30-85km gets melted by sentries, close range are eviscerated by torps and heavies. Never have to turn a tank mod on, can continue at near same ability if you get nueted, and yes, the new scorpion looks good.
Can't wait til the expansion is out so i can fly my death-star with looks to match it's teeth.

A Neutron Thron is pretty good if the mission is mwd enabled and if you got a guardian to rep you and feed you cap because you'll be using the mwd lots. Pimp option, Vindicator. -- 081014 : emoragequit, char transfered to a friend, 090317 : back to original owner blog |

Personally I'd say the Rattlesnake. It got alot of possibilities and it's going to look badass with Tyrannis launches :)

Rattlesnake is completely boring to play, reskin or not. Check AC Mach, it's a big squid with model looking 5 times the size of a Rattlesnake, flopping around at almost 600 m/s with ab.

Disagree on the looks. Non-fail mission Tengus use systems that make it look like a soda can with one end partially crushed. The thing is pugly. It's just embarassing. 
Mach goes close to 600 m/s with ab.

truth. HAM tengus can hit nearly 1k dps, spew missiles at a hilarious rate, and with subs to 5 you should be nearly hitting 700m/s depending on your AB. the combination of sick speed due to AB bonus, limited HAM range, and sick HAM DPS make for a satisfying & engaging mission experience.

Haha, thought that would actually last a little longer before CCP censored it. I got my first forum censor. Thanks CCP Shadow! I'm so proud!

-Liang
I completely agree with ya on that one. The Golem is my favorite ship to mission in. I didn't mention it because, going by the OP, he didn't seem to be the kinda person that finds warping into a mission, sitting there and shooting everything, then warping out to be much fun. Tengu requires more user input and attention, which I got the impression he would enjoy more. :)

Marauders are probably the only ships that will actually abuse Multitasking lol. 3 for looting, 2 fer drones and 3 for your main guns.
Never enough stuff to target =)

As for Golem... The original question was asking for the "most fun" and not necessarily "the best."

I know I'm being picky hehe but it isn't often you will 2 volley a BS. Best I think I've ever done is a 3 an that was on a Sansha, but aside from that, Golem is fun just very slow, an the tengu does out tank it..
All a matter of personal preference mate. Rattlesnake is due to be "fixed" since its broken LOL, but it is what the Domi should have been. (**** dps an "Carrier" level tank) :D
If pvp is your thing, I call Rapier as most deadly (I fly SB's) Or maybe a Curse....

Edited by: SickSeven on 23/05/2010 00:37:17 To be honest, Marauders are not "fun" to do missions in. They were MADE for missions. They do them extremely well with little or no risk of being destroyed(by npcs).
The most fun I have ever had doing missions was in a Stabber Fleet Issue. The ship fitted correctly can solo some Lvl4 missions, and it's really fun running around in a ship that has no business doing what you're doing in it.
However, for ships that can actually do Lvl4s(most of them) a AB fitted torp phoon was fun as hell(pre-dominion) and I'm sure it's even better now!!

I have a friend that does 4s in ships that have no biz doing so, she loves it. Personally I'd rather listen to Sir Molle spew his tactical supremacy skills on vent for 6 hours strait =)

SBs are kinda fun in a "I'm doing this in a ridiculously small ship" way, not terrible dps, definitely good showmanship for people who don't know better, but none of them look badass. Well unless they're small balls of sparkles from missile hits anyway. Mach fits all 3 easily.
